Flutter Painting

My recent work is an expression of emotion and the movement and energy of the natural world, emphasizing a balance of color and form while referencing digital art, landscape, abstract expressionism, and the bauhaus art movement. I begin each piece with a gestural under-painting in a thin wash, then construct a composition around the areas of the underpainting that I have chosen to leave exposed by smearing on thick, textural, blocked planes of color that draw attention to the paintings surface and physicality. The resulting effect of this layering technique is that the brushstrokes from the under-painting appear to be carved into the thick upper layers of paint, calling into question which layer came first and what constitutes foreground and background. In the larger work, the gestural brushstrokes of the under-painting are also placed in dialogue with atmospheric gradients and ‘erasure marks’ that appear digitally rendered. All of these elements combine in the finished work, setting up multiple tensions between the spontaneous and the intentional, the gestural and the static, the flat and dimensional, and between digital references and nature or the artist’s hand.
